I know some “anarchists” who don’t vote because they don’t want to legitimize the system. A big whatever to that. ---

This is the first presidential election I haven’t voted in since turning 18. Of course this is only the third election since I turned 18. I have a degree, I’m registered, I have a history of voting, and although I enjoy conspiracy theories I don’t actually believe them. I didn’t vote because I didn’t have a horse in the race this year.
